What veg can I grow in February.

Hi all.

This being my second year at growing vegetables, what can I plant that's cheap, excluding spuds due to a small garden.

Last year I planted carrots, slasify, squash, rather ghastly yellow cylindical beetroot, never again, pig food. Too early for this stuff I guess, I did grow Jerusalem Artichokes, but they turned out to be rather pathetic, too wet I think. I have heavy clay soil although I am doing my best to condition.

Have a look at down at the allotment and in the garden what are you up to
in the down on the allotments topic heading and you'll see what other ishers are doing at the moment. - start at the higher page numbers for latest sewings etc.

I always start my tomato seeds off indoors in Feb.

Planted out, beetroot, onions, some greens too. I use Feb to start my seeds off mostly.

I've got a few plants started on the windowsill: Jalapenos, lettuce, and a few herbs. I'll be starting some more within the next week or so.
Outside, it's still too cold, and much to wet to do anything.

Thank for info, will do.

I will be sowing my parsnips in a week or so in toilet rolls inside , and in a month i will be digging up my artichokes, and replanting some of them.

My plans for the weekend - get tomatoes started, broad beans, onions and garlic (should have been planted in autumn! ), and perhaps a few other hardy things that should really have gone out in autumn, but with the seasons playing silly bugger maybe I'm lucky if I play along!

Parsnips in toilet roll tubes! Now that is a good idea. It must be a good way to get them going early and given they don't like being transplanted, it wont hurt them to have the tube 'planted' and of course the tube rots away as they grow! Do you sprout your seeds first?
